M3D Micro: Help recognizing burned component

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 11:20:23 -0700

Hi M3D Micro owners!

I have recently noticed one component (I think is a transistor) is burned, and I need help knowing which one it is.

I didn't find any schematics for the board, so I have no clue.

I would really appreciate any help here. I want to replace the component and fix the printer.

Thanks!

UP! Plus 2: Printer that is not initializing correctly and skipping?

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 13:27:24 -0700

I've had my printer for a while now, and I've run into an issue where my printer will start skipping and pushing it's y-limit boundary. There is no "click" of the switch in the back.

UP! Plus 2: Why isn't my printer turning on?

The front facing power light is not turning on, even when my printer is plugged in and the switch is on.

M3D Micro: Intermittent Connection and/or Extrusion Issues (?)

Fri, 25 Nov 2022 06:37:48 -0700

First, this is on a Linux Pop-OS system76 laptop (but also tested on a Dell Inspiron 17 with Ubuntu). I know the problem isn't anything like a bad cable or port, since the printer does in fact operate under certain circumstances. Here's the problem...

I recently dusted off this M3D Micro I have, the software of which was on my old Dell laptop. Except for a bad model (the .stl needed repair), the printer printed the .stl with no issues. Then I decided I should probably just put the software on my newer laptop and run from there instead. I figured out how to repair my model, but then ran into all kinds of grief trying to get the old M3D software to run on my newer system. Those issues are resolved (I think), and this is where I'm at now...

I have two software downloads:

m3drealize_1.8.2-1_amd64.deb: Printer connects but does not extrude any filament i.e. the extruder moves around as if printing, but nothing comes out. This is true on both the System76 and, now, also the Dell (re-installed the software, earlier). I've removed and reinserted the filament and it does extrude a bit during that process, so there isn't a hardware issue. It just won't do it when I go to print anything!

M3D-Linux-1.5.0.70.tar: Printer connection cuts in and out, with a message popping up every time upon re-connection: It keeps telling me that my gantrys need to be reconfigured and that I cannot print until this is done (again, this happens on both computers; I wish I had not uninstalled and re-installed on the Dell, but I didn't realize there would be any problems down the road!).

So does anyone have any idea what's going on here and, just as important, how I can go about fixing it?

M3D Micro: How do I get my computer to recognize the device?

Wed, 19 Aug 2020 00:57:00 -0700

Recently, my printer started acting weird and saying that it couldn’t be recognized by my computer. I don’t know what happened, but when I plug in both the printer cable and power cable, the fan turns on, but then the error message displays in the bottom right corner. Any suggestions?

XYZ Printing da Vinci Junior 1.0: Error 0014 on Da Vinci jr 1.0 refurbished

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 06:51:45 -0700

I had my Da Vinci Jr 1.0 turned off for a while And just turned it back on in an attempt to print something for my sister, and when i told it to load the fliament, it gave me an error 0014. I looked it up and it is an error with the extruder heating. I tried to fix it by checking the connections and rebooting the printer, but to no avail. Any suggestions or fixes? The printer is refurbished, so I have no clue if that is the problem, or if it is just the hardware.

M3D Micro: replace mainboard or transistor

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 11:11:43 -0700

Where can I get a replacement mainboard for the Micro+, or, what are the transistors under the Atmel processor so I can replace one (the one I think ending in V6 cause it fried). Thanks very much!
